Container handling can be define as an object used for or capable of holding, esp. for transport or storage, such as a carton, box, etc. a large cargo-carrying standard-sized container that can be loaded from one mode of transport to another, a container port, a container ship.

Aviation engineering is a branch of engineering which deals with airspace development, airport design, aircraft navigation technologies, and aerodrome planning. It also involves the formulation of public policy, regulations, aviation laws pertaining to airspace, airlines, airports, aerodromes and the conduct of air services agreements through treaty.
This branch of engineering is distinct from aerospace engineering which deals with the development of aircraft and spacecraft.
Containerization is a system of intermodal freight transport using intermodal containers (also called shipping containers and ISO containers). The containers have standardized dimensions. They can be loaded and unloaded, stacked, transported efficiently over long distances, and transferred from one mode of transport to another—container ships, rail transport flatcars, and semi-trailer trucks—without being opened. The handling system is completely mechanized so that all handling is done with cranes and special forklift trucks. All containers are numbered and tracked using computerized systems.
Dangerous Goods Awareness and Handling SafetyBinsar Roy
Dangerous Goods are substances that present an immediate risk to people, property and the environment. These substances can be explosive, flammable, oxidizing, toxic, radioactive or corrosive.
With the increased use of dangerous goods in the last century, chemical manufacturers now package their dangerous goods in much larger packages. In this day and age, it is not uncommon to see dangerous goods such as acids and flammable liquids in packages as large as 205L drums, 1000L Intermediate Bulk Containers and radioactives / explosives. Failure to handle these large packages with the right equipment can result in severe damage to people and property.
A PRESENTATION ON SHIPPING TRADE TYPES TRAMP AND LINER SHIPPING AND ITS FEATURES AND IMPACT IN GLOBAL SHIPPING WITH EXAMPLES OF ITS TRADE ROUTE AND CHARACTERISTICS
1. Flag
By international convention, each vessel engaged in international trade must be registered in a spesific country, and therefore flies a spesific country’s flag. In many ways vessel is an extention of the territory of this country, and the flag state has the authority and responsibility to enforce regulations over vessels registered under its flag, including those relating to inspection, certification, and issuance of safety and pollution prevention documents.
Apart from that, the flag also determines the cost of operation and crew. The flag of developed countries tend to impose very substantial regulations on the way a ship is operated, in such areas as the composition of the crew on board, its minimum training requirement, its nationality, the work rules on board, the vacation time earned by the crew and so on. In addition, taxation can be significantly higher. In contrast, regulations and taxes for some developing countries are minimal. For example, operation costs of a cargo ship flying the US flag were 22.053 USD$ per day, whereas the same ship flying a developing country’s flag were 7.454 USD$ per day. Also same for crew cost, the US-flagged ship had to pay 13.655USD$ per day, but the foreign-flagged ships only paid 2.590 USD$ per day for 22 crew member.
These cost differences are also available for annual tax.
2. The term “flag of convenience” refers to registering a ship in a sovereign state different from that of the ship's owners.
Ships registered under flags of convenience can often reduce operating costs or avoid the regulations of the owner's country. To do so, a vessel owner will find a nation with an open registry, or a nation that allows registration of vessels owned by foreign entities. A ship operates under the laws of its flag state, so vessel owners often register in other nations to take advantages of reduced regulation, lower administrative fees, and greater numbers of friendly ports.
Countries attempt to influence, as much as possible, the flags of the ships that enter their ports. Although they cannot outright ban certain nationalities, they can prevent ships not registered in the country from carrying certain freight. Such as cabotage rules.
3. Shipping lines will charge container shipper either by published tariff rates or with negotiating contract rates with large volume shippers. Rates are determined per package or by weight, including cargo shipped in containers on a less-than-container-load (LCL) basis. In addition to the freight rate there are additional charges which the international logistic professional must be aware.
4. The Hague Rules of 1924 is an international convention to impose minimum standards upon commercial carriers of goods by sea. It restricts the liability of the carrier to SDR 666,67 per package or per customary freight unit. In 1968 the Hague Rules were slightly amended to become the Hague-Visby Rules.

5. The invention of the container is attributed to
Malcolm McLean, who started the movement
of trailers on ships (with the Sea/Land line)
and rail from New York to the Gulf Coast in
1956 (Chadwin et al. (1990)).
Later on, the trailer changed to containers.
The container has increased port productivity
enormously and changed the appearance of
harbors from large areas with break bulk
cargo to long stretches of bulk headed
waterfront with many large cranes serving big
container ships.
6. Container handling can be define as an object
used for or capable of holding, esp. for
transport or storage, such as a carton, box,
etc. a large cargo-carrying standard-sized
container that can be loaded from one mode
of transport to another, a container port, a
container ship.

27. A container terminal is based on a maritime
interface.
It has quays with cranes to load and unload
ships, a stack to store containers and an
interface with inland transportation either by
truck, rail or barge.
A container terminal can have several
interfaces with inland transportation.
28. First, there are transfer points for trucks, which
are then loaded from the stack using straddle
carriers, reach stackers or other cranes.
Next, there can be a rail terminal or service
center, where containers are loaded onto or from
trains.
Finally, there can be a barge service center where
barges are loaded using specific equipment.
29.
30. Decisions on container handling equipment
and its scheduling can be categorized
according to the time horizon involved.
Strategic Tactical Operational
31. There, one makes decisions on the choice of
the handling equipment, on the way (or
concept) in which operations are carried out
as well as on the layout of the terminal.
One decides on capacity levels of equipment
and manning, on layout structures and on
timetables of ships and trains (in terms of
frequency and day of week).
32. Finally, at the operational level, one decides
on the allocation of capacity to the work to be
done.
One may even add a real-time level, where
quite detailed control decisions have to be
made regarding automated equipment, like
which route to take for an AGV, which speed
to use and when to make turns.
38. The trend of increasing ship size is likely to
continue, despite a significant overcapacity in
the market, which is as old as the container
itself.
Together with larger ships, there is also
increasing cooperation between the various
shipping lines.
The next step will be the merger of shipping
lines.
Introduction of larger vessels.
There will be a trend to so-called hub-and-
spoke networks.
Automation of the handling equipment.
